We are hearing the words "short sale" more and more these days; yet so many people I come across don't know what they are.
I recently became a designated Certified Distressed Property Expert because my traditional listings are not selling. I fought the whole short sale thing for awhile, referring them out, but I realized, like it or not, this is the way things will be for awhile.
As realtors, let's keep in mind, a short sale is not just another "sale." It's a way to help people avoid the devastating effects of foreclosure. People are ashamed, they don't know where to turn for accurate information, and they need our help, compassion and skills! I am personally on a mission to save as many as I can, one homeowner at a time!!
